Events in Toronto

Every year, St. Clare Inn hosts 2 major fundraisers to help raise money for its operational costs. Since St. Clare Inn is entirely funded privately and receives no government support, these fundraisers are vital to keeping our doors open and their proceeds account for almost 40% of our operating costs.

An Evening In Paris!

Thank you to all who joined us for "An Evening in Paris" this past weekend.  The night was full of excitement while our guests enjoyed the musical stylings of our accordian player and student performers, the slight of hand of our magician, and the insights of our handwriting analysis expert.  Michelle Dubé steered 200 people through the ins and outs of our affair and together we managed to raise over $34,000 and counting for St. Clare Inn.  It was truly a fabulous group effort and the women who benefit from their stay at St. Clare Inn are very grateful to all. Thank You!
